Question

Every day, Katie looks for seashells on the beach. She has 28 shells in her collection. Katie finds 12 more shells each day. Write an inequality to determine the number of days,d, it will take Katie to collect over 100 shells.

Answer 1

100<28+12d

If she wants to collect over 100 then the 100 would be less than (<) what she collects. She is starting with 28 so whatever she collects is added on. Because she collects 12 a day, you would multiply 12 by however many days, d, she collects. 

Answer 2

Answer:

34+12d>100

for the second part

is d>5 1/2
